Avoiding Repetition Keeps the Account Focused

“There is no use in again describing here the activities of the Lord. It would simply be repetitious and would increase the size of this book.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 10.51, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The author sees no use in describing these activities of the Lord again here.
  • The neighbouring verse explains that a detailed description already exists.
